Full Moon and Fishing

[Bluegill Bill]

If you had to choose between fishing a full 3 days before the full moon or a full 3 days after, which would it be? My wife and I are going to try and pick a time to camp and Shellcracker fish in May and I'm trying to decide when to go. Thanks all.

3 days before the full moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

I guess I'd shoot for "before" if I had the choice. (I just rarely have the choice.)

I'd rather take the chance on being a little early than being late.

Whichever falls on my days off :D . Seriously, I prefer 3 days before but both are productive.

I fish all seven.:D

all seven for me but according to Bass Master Magazine the 26th of March is the best day to fish????

Absolutely 3 days before. My experience is most of the bigger fish are there before the full moon and the smaller ones are there after. It seems to me you will catch more redear mixed in with the bluegill on the 3 days prior to than post full moon as well. Just my experience, but that is how I plan my vacation days.

3 days before is when we're making reservations, thanks all.
